Been checking through the issues and seen this one come up a few times. I've just updated to the latest full release of Pathauto and Token. I've noticed that blog aliases aren't being generated for new users that have create their first blog post, so:

http://chinwag.com/blog/

isn't generating:

http://chinwag.com/blogs/

I've tried using the Bulk Generation option, which is giving a message:

The configuration options have been saved.
Bulk generation of user blogs completed, 50 aliases generated.

Also tried creating user/blog/blog post with admin account, no joy there either. Having to create the links manually in the interim.

Thanks in advance for any help.

What is the blog URL alias pattern you are using? Do your users have the 'create blog entries' permission?

Hi Dave, thanks for getting back to me.

> What is the blog URL alias pattern you are using?

blogs/[user-raw]

> Do your users have the 'create blog entries' permission?

Yes, although I've created a specific role 'guest blogger' role, which is assigned to users who are allowed to create blog nodes. No other users, aside from admin, can see the 'Create Content' links to create nodes.

Looking at your left side-bar at http://chinwag.com/blogs/ and the URL alises are being generated correctly.

Hiya Dave, thanks for the reply, much appreciated. The aliases are correct, as I'm generating them manually. Tried a whole bunch of variations, but still can't get it working unless I'm creating a blog post for the guest blogger with admin privileges.
